Always   This Ring   Dreams Come True   Mortar and Stone

ALWAYS
© 1997 Lyrics by Lowry Olafson
Music by Lowry Olafson and Tom Carter
from the CD Little Mysteries


I will always be there, or you can always call
And I will always be the one who needs you
No matter where you are, I'll hold you in my heart
And when the days turn cold, I'll never be that far.

When the days grow shorter, when the leaves have turned
It's not too tall an order, you needn't be concerned.
No matter what the time, you might like to know
I won't be hard to find, you've got someplace to go.

CHORUS:
We can watch the world drift off to sleep
Frost can't reach the roots that dig down deep,
Knowing that this love keeps growing
Even as the summer's going
And Springtime is a promise the earth will always keep.
I will always listen, and I want you to see
When the fields are glistening covering the leaves
We'll come in from the cold, leave angels in the snow,
Huddle by the fire, kindled in its glow
Chorus

And I will always love you, like a flower in the sun
In a winter window and when the day is done,
If any lonely thoughts come tramping into view,
Know that I am here, know that this is true and . . .
Chorus

I will always be there, or you can always call
And I will always be the one who needs you
No matter where you are, I'll hold you in my heart
And when the days turn cold, I'll never be that far.

THIS RING
© 1999 Lowry Olafson
from the CD Days That Disappear Too Soon


She's got a magic smile, like a breath of light,
Like a gentle wind that cools the summer night.
It's like a brand new day has just begun,
And you wake to greet the rising sun.
If you ask my friends, well they concur,
She's the one for me, and I'm the one for her.
Don't have to wish, not anymore,
Someone like this you wait a lifetime for.

Chorus:
And this ring Can't glitter in the dark, all alone.
To see it shine, hold it in the light,
And that precious stone
Will be a beacon of the love that brings you home.

When it feels like this, then you're not afraid,
When you've got a friend, and she's the best you ever made.
We're going to take a walk, going to make a vow
Cause the greater risk would be missing out.

And she told me this, that "The love keeps growing.
You can only love someone as much as you know them."
And I am loving her, too much to tell,
And I plan to know her very well.
CHORUS

I've got a lot of love, and a lot of faith
Got a lot to learn, mmm, but that's okay.
I can feel this smile from deep inside,
Walk her down the aisle, and you may kiss the bride.

DREAMS COME TRUE
© 1999 Lowry Olafson
from the CD Days that Disappear Too Soon


You can lay your head upon your pillow,
Savouring the slumber while it lasts,
And drift back to your dreams, where everything is seen
Through contented, rosy-coloured glass.
Swept away by your imagination,
Knights in shining armour come to call,
And when they whisper pretty words and promise you the world,
You'll wake up wishing you could have it all.

Chorus 1:
And fantasies are fine, and they can fill your mind
With all kinds of possibilites,
But promises of kisses aren't half as good as this is,
Living the reality, of you and me.

I know we don't live inside a castle.
We're not mystical like Merlin, or as wise,
But there's magic all the same, in every passing day,
Enchanting as the sparkle in your eyes.

Chorus 2:
And fantasies are fine, and they can fill your mind
With all kinds of possibilites.
But if you let them blind you, how could someone ever find you,
Someone who's as real as you? Darling, dreams come true.

Bridge:
Larger than life is not what I'm looking for,
And I won't be fooled by any of that.
You come home at night and you walk through that open door,
Just as you are, just as simple as that.

And when you lay your head upon my shoulder,
I will be beside you as you dream,
And this love I offer you is tangible and true,
And worthy of a Princess or a Queen.

Chorus 1

MORTAR AND STONE
© 1998 Lowry Olafson
from the CD Little Mysteries


There's a house in the country
Made out of mortar and stone
Since the turn of the century
It's stood proud as any home.

CHORUS 1:
The rocks interlock forming the walls
As tall as time and gravity will allow,
And if the skies turn gray, you can bring on the rain
And that house will remain.

We drive by that homestead
I slow as we go past
As if there lies the secret
Of how to make things last.

CHORUS 2:
The rocks interlock forming the walls
As tall as time and gravity will allow,
That old mason knew that the stones must fit tight
It takes more than mortar to holda home upright.

Bridge:
And if I need a reason
For singing you this song
It's cause it's never been so easy
For love to feel so strong.

You and I, we're still learning
So much that we don't know
But sometimes it's the rough edges
That make the perfect stone.

CHORUS 1:
The rocks interlock forming the walls
As tall as time and gravity will allow,
And if the skies turn gray, you can bring on the rain
And that house will remain.
